Viteyes AREDS 2 Eye Vitamins, Classic Macular Support, Allergen Free Capsules, with Natural Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Zinc, Copper, Lutein & Zeaxanthin, Eye Doctor Trusted, Manufactured in The USA, 180 Ct

My eye doctor me to start taking these. May help warding off macular degeneration, so I will keep taking these for ever!

It worked well..

A little noticeable difference in vision, don't require as much magnification with readers, dropped to a lesser magnification.

Needed AREDS 2 vitamin per ophthalmologist. First brand I bought upset my stomach; didn't know why. Then, researched. Seems attributed to high dosage of zinc. So, sought out a brand with a lower level. Found these, "Classic". Been using for months. Do they work? I let you know in 10 years. :) But, they don't upset my stomach.

Look carefully at the labeling on this product. Although they advertise a single daily dose, you actually have to take two pills to get their 'serving size'. They do correctly state that a daily dose is two pills not one. Personally, I've never seen a pill before where the ingredients don't describe what is in a single pill but rather what is in a daily dose or in this case two pills. The end result is that these pills are twice the cost you might expect if you only had to take one a day. You have to double Amazon's price per count that is listed in the description.

Eye doctor recommended these.

So, since eye doctor was pleased with eye health, this product is working...fantastic!!

I chose this brand of pills because of their smaller dosage of zinc (according to my research, most AREDS 2 formulations have levels of zinc that are significantly larger than its daily recommended amount without proof that the larger level of zinc is essential). I purchased two bottles and am nearly finished with the first bottle. I haven't noticed a difference in my eyesight. It's neither improved nor worsened, and I can't guarantee that it's had any impact on my eyesight at all. That being said, I have missed full dosages a few times a week. These bottles have 60 capsules with serving size of two pills per day. The problem is the pills are huge. According to the picture, they are .75 inches long. I never know if I'm going to be able to get them down or not. Usually, I'm able to get one, but occasionally, I can't get any down. Whatever the capsules are made of get soggy pretty quickly in the mouth and start to collapse and I have to throw it away. They're not the most expensive pills, but I'm unwilling to try to use more pills when I fail with the first two. Basically, I'm not sure if they are helping and they are just too large to get down consistently. I wouldn't buy these again. Anyone have a hint about how to get such a gigantic bolus down every time? I haven't had trouble swallowing pills since I was a kid!
